Question

Convert 424 miles/8 hours to feet per second. please work it out so I could understand it better

Answer 1

`(1166feet)/(15 seconds)`

Explanation:

So whenever we are trying to get rid of one type of variable and add another, we have to divide the first variable while multiplying the other.

Notice that I'm multiplying by 1 each time.
`(424 miles)/(8hours) *(1hours)/(60minutes)*(1minutes)/(60seconds)*(5280feet)/(1mile)`

Now we multiply, and get our answer!

`(424*5280)/(8*60*60) = (1166feet)/(15 seconds)`
